A study was performed in which data were obtained from adults and children with respect to their control of the inflexional morphology of the Spanish verbal system. Results indicate that adults have inferior knowledge of the paradigm compared to the children. Based on the types of errors committed, it is argued that linguistic knowledge may be more an ability to analogize correctly than to follow (unconscious) rules. Implications for GB (Government and Binding) theory and first and second language acquisition are discussed.
进行了一项研究，从成人和儿童那里获取了关于他们对西班牙语动词系统屈折形态的掌握情况的数据。结果表明，与儿童相比，成人对词形变化表的了解较差。基于所犯错误的类型，有人认为语言知识可能更多地是一种正确进行类推的能力，而非遵循（无意识的）规则的能力。文中还讨论了该研究对管辖与约束（GB）理论以及第一语言和第二语言习得的启示。
